The quantity of silver deposited when one coulomb charge is passed through solution:
- (A)0.1 g atom of silver
- (B)1 chemical equivalent of silver
- (C)1 g of silver
- (D)1 electrochemical equivalent of silver✓ Correct
Answer: (D)
Solution
By Faraday's first law, mass deposited . For coulomb, — which is, by definition, the electrochemical equivalent of the substance. So passing 1 coulomb through the solution deposits exactly 1 electrochemical equivalent of silver.
